Tanaka #1

The poet Glenn Cooper said he would tell me the principles and rules of the Tanka poem. I'm sure there are some rules I should stick to. I'm still waiting for Glenn to tell me. Seems to take a long time. I can't wait and therefore I call my five-liners Tanaka instead. I just wrote this. There could be some incredible grammatical errors in this small poem, I am waiting for the verdict.

Tanaka #1

The hens and their loud chatter
are gone. There’s no sound
at four in the morning
from the garden next door.
I miss the unsynchronized rooster.
